[gst-devel] Adding plugins to gstreamer

[Grant Kimball]

Mario -

I've also notice that plug-ins get installed into 2 different directories by
the RPM installation packages.

The first, default directory is /usr/local/lib/gstreamer-0.10/

But other plug-ins get installed in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/

I'd just make sure that all possible paths are included in GST_PLUGIN_PATH.

Good luck,

Grant Kimball

This is quiet interesting. I set the  GST_PLUGIN_PATH variable and call
gst-inspect and this is the result:

$ export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/tmp/lib/gstreamer-0.10/

gst-inspect classpathsrc --gst-debug=2

$ gst-inspect filesrc --gst-debug=2

If I unset it, it works with filesrc, but not with classpathsrc.

Thanks,
Mario
